Group, It looks like things are going well. I've heard from both subgroups this evening, and the facts are encouraging. I'm looking forward to a good meeting tomorrow night with good results for each side to show to the other. I'd like tomorrow's meeting to include a review of group II's design for increment 2. The design will consist of a class diagram and pseudocode for the act of translating an Archive instance to XML and vice versa. This review will last about 30 minutes. The purpose will be to find faults; group II will benefit from this before they start their coding. I'm also planning on including another tutorial. This seemed to go over well last time and I think it helped provide a better grasp about how to tackle what was ahead. Tonight I will be updating the web schedule (http://rcml.sourceforge.net/sched.html), preparing a more detailed agenda for tomorrow's meeting, and researching a small topic for group II (how to specify the DTD for a DOM_Document). Let me know if there's anything else you need from me. I intend to keep my session to gamma up as long as I am awake; contacting me with the talk or write commands would be a good way to get in touch with me. I won't be accessible by phone. As always, email is good, too. Let me know any questions you have or anything else you need. I also would like to let everyone know that I invite any feedback you might have for me. You can always feel free to email me individually, and I will do my best to be responsive to your comments or concerns. If you'd rather let me know something anonymously, I won't be offended if you go sign up for a free account at hotmail or something and send me an anonymous email. Remember, as Levine said, bad news is always better than no news. Have a good night and keep up the good work. Thanks for working so hard. <jdb/> |

For those of you who've been wondering, I recommend pronouncing Xerces as "Zuhrkzeez." There was a Persian king in the ancient world named Xerxes, and that is how I was taught to say his name. (He was also known as Ahasuerus, which is apparently another way of transliterating the same Persian name into English.) Xerces is named for the Xerces butterfly. I have no idea if the butterfly was named for the Persian king. I have no idea what the Xerces butterfly looks like or where it lives. jdb |

I am emailing everyone a copy of my proposal for the increment 2 class diagram. This is a subset of Junior's class diagram. We will discuss a few other changes tomorrow night. Group II will implement all the methods shown on the increment 2 class diagram, subject to any possible changes that might be made. For increment 3, group I will complete the analysis represented by the class diagram Junior sent for basic checkin/checkout and implement it. Everyone should understand that later increments can make changes to what was proposed by previous increments. Please print yourself a copy of both of these class diagrams for tomorrow night's meeting. jdb |

Tomorrow night will be a working meeting. We will meet for at least
two hours. Both groups will split up and work, I will bounce back and
forth between the two answering questions.
Before we split up, we will have some tutorials on various things we
all will need to know.
We will also be having our team picture taken after class tomorrow
night. Please be sure to be there; you might be embarrassed if Dr.
Levine noted specifically that you weren't. :)
Group 2: please reserve Saturday from 9:00 A.M. until 3:00 for a
coding day. I don't think we'll need this full time segment, but
please attempt to not make any other plans for that time slot.
<jdb/>

> Hi team, > Was there a meeting held with Dr.Levine today? Me & Tmaruthi were there at 4:30 today. No one turned up !!! > Kindly tell me of any other schedule for the meeting. > Rana Hi, guys. Where were you at? I went up to Dr. Levine's door and found no one there and the door closed. I went back to the Sun lab to check my mail and see if he had said anything. He had sent a message saying he would be there but would have to leave quickly. I went back up and knocked on his door to discover he was inside. I discussed our class diagram with him as detailed in my previous message. If we would like to compile a list of things to discuss with Dr. Levine, I'm sure we could arrange to go see him again later in the week. In addition, if anyone wants to go see Dr. Levine on your own to discuss anything, I won't be offended. I had intended to have a list of methods to be implemented by each group for increments 2 and 3, and deliver that list to you tonight. However, this evening has been a disaster. I discovered my radiator was leaking, fell on concrete while jogging, had my glasses fall apart in such a way that I thought it would take a machine to put them back together (it took an hour, and the help of two family members; I'm basically blind without them). Well, I know no one wants to hear my whining, but I thought it was pretty interesting that this many things could go wrong in a day. :) For now, the division between increments 2 and 3 is that increment two will implement the read and write methods of the archive class (read is a constructor), along with any accessor methods or other private methods needed to build an archive object, along with the revision tree class and revision number class, including only the methods needed to construct these objects for purposes of constructing an archive. Increment 3 will contain everything else necessary for checkin/checkout (with no branching). I'm looking into some software for doing our class diagram, but getting it to work is slow going. I'll be happy if we just keep it in Word, as long as we can show the relationships between classes. jdb |

Hi team, Was there a meeting held with Dr.Levine today? Me & Tmaruthi were there at 4:30 today. No one turned up !!! Kindly tell me of any other schedule for the meeting. Rana John Blackstone <jx...@ga...> wrote: We're planning on meeting with Dr. Levine tomorrow at 4:30. Please come if you can. I haven't yet heard from Dr. Levine as to whether or not he will be available, so if you want to call me and check before coming, that will be okay. I'll try to announce it on this mailing list, if possible. Increment 2 has been revised to include creating the Archive class read() and write() methods, using the Xerces parser, along with the methods of any associated classes necessary to bring this about (such as RevisionTree). It is scheduled to be completed this Saturday. Increment 3 has been revised to include the checkin and checkout methods of the Archive class, and the methods of any associated classes necessary for this (such as the find_diff and apply_diff methods of the Text object). Increment 4 will be revision locking and branching. jdb _______________________________________________ rcml-devel mailing list rcm...@li... http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/rcml-devel --------------------------------- Do You Yahoo!?

Group, I just met with Dr. Levine. He glanced at our class diagram and listened to my explanation of our next two increments. He did comment that we need to better show the relationship between classes in our diagram, but understood that the software we used to produce it couldn't really do that. Dr. Levine says he thinks we are on the right track. See you all tomorrow in class. Thanks for all the hard work. <jdb/> |

Team, I've seen that I've made some mistakes in planning. Increment 2 is far too complicated to be completed well in the time allowed, and several later increments are much simpler, even trivial. I've seen that we need to redivide up the increments now that we better know what we are doing. I'd like to request that everyone please meet in the hall of flags tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon at 2:00 P.M. We will discuss how we are going to reorganize the work, especially for the next two increments. Please respond and let me know if you can come or not. I apologize for doing this on such short notice, but it seems necessary if we're going to complete the project on time and do a good job. Thank you. jdb |

To install Xerces under Windows, choose the distribution called xerces-c1_3_0-win32.zip from http://xml.apache.org/dist/xerces-c/stable/ . To install Xerces under UNIX, you will need to run on either a Linux machine or a Solaris machine. There are precompiled versions available for both of these platforms at the URL listed above. In addition, I was able to compile Xerces from source for Solaris using gcc. I've got Xerces installed on gamma in /tmp/jdb and /tmp/xerces-c1_3_0-SolCC . You will need to modify some environment variables and/or command line switches to compile against the Xerces library. I will be finding out how to do this presently, I believe. There are two sample applications to be looking at that show us how we will be using Xerces: DOMPrint and CreateDOMDocument. Of course, you shouldn't be worried about any coding right now, only picking and defining methods. jdb |

I've found an easy way to put our class diagram in Microsoft Word using tables. I know some of you are probably thinking of various changes to it, so hopefully this will help make that easier. I will put it in the team directory on gamma (/home/jxb9451/rcml) and also email it from my other email account. jdb |

The DTD has now been downloaded a total of 11 times. That's more people than there are in our group, so unless some of us downloaded more than once, people are looking at this! Of course, in the open source world, "Show me the code" is the motto, so once we actually have working software (this Saturday, I hope), we might start seeing even more download activity. Getting people around the world to use this project isn't really a primary goal, but it's kind of neat. Plus, we might even get a few ideas from anyone who happens across the program and tries to use it. jdb |

I thought y'al might be interested to know that our DTD has attracted at least some attention; SourceForge reports that it has been downloaded four times. Of course, hopefully some of those are y'all, but it would be neat if other people start watching our project. (Looks good on resumes!) jdb |

Thanks to all of you who have signed up for the mailing list. This will make life a lot easier for all of us very soon as things get more hectic. For convenience, I've also set up two additional lists, one for each group. They are rcml-group1 and rcml-group2. I will be subscribed to both lists, so if everyone in each group will subscribe to the appropriate list, that should help us keep conversations between the members of each group separate from the conversations of the other group and from each other. Of course, anyone can subscribe to both lists, if they really want to, and the list archives will be available on the web site. Group I is the group that just finished the DTD and will spend the next two weeks completing increment 3 (locking and concurrency). This group consists of Kalyani, Rana, Reymond, and Rana. Group II is the group that is supposed to turn in an OO analysis for increment 2 tonight and is supposed to turn in the completed increment 2 (basic checkin and checkout) next week. This group consists of Junior, Jake, and Pramada. At some later date, we might move a member from group I to group II, if a very large increment is assigned to group II and they need more help. jdb |

Group I has completed the first increment! Give yourselves a round of applause, guys. We're on schedule! The preliminary DTD is available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/rcml/ as release 0.05. Group II will need to download this DTD and start working with it as soon as possible. Group II, email your analysis to me tonight, please. jdb |
